Office Solutions and Montana School Equipment. The lowest bid including installation
was from Montana School Equipment.
ACTION REQUESTED: Award the bid for officer lockers with installation to Montana
School Equipment in the amount of $88,790.
FISCAL EFFECTS: The cost for this portion of the project is $88,790 including freight
and installation and is being funded by Downtown Tax Increment Financing (TIF) funds.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested and approved by the City Council.
